Don’t forget there is a Werner Premium Grade Paddle on the line here.

Up first we have…
Hey Guys,

P.S. Should you be so gracious as to choose our photo as the winner, Nate deserves the paddle (Unless of course you want to give out two! ; )

Gold from Vermont

Here we have a ‘first timer’ at Stateline Falls…

Hey John, Will & the rest of the LVM Crew!

Please enter this photo of my wife (Jennifer Bradley) & me into the hunt for the new Werner Premium Paddle! The shot was taken by Steve Moore at Alien Boof on the Upper Ocoee this past summer (7/25/09). The shot really illustrates a great tandem “Golden Stroke” in our custom black & white Dynamic Duo wedding boat!! Thanks & have a nice day!

And the final pictures for today, a pair from the tea colored waters of Minnesota and Michigan sent in by Ryan Zimny. Lots of great shots here and stay tuned tomorrow because there is more gold on the way.

Rada Race action!

Saving the best for last...cmon this shot is oozing gold!

More gold here for you. We have a shot here from Wesley Bradley on The Watauga…the LVM sticker doesn’t hurt.
Hey John, Will & the rest of the LVM Crew!

Please enter this photo of me into the hunt for the new Werner Premium Paddle! The shot was taken by Matt Dalton at the top of Stateline Falls this past Sunday (3/28/10). The shot turned out to be a great angle to show the “Golden Stroke” which resulted in boof-o-licious good time & me feeling like a true Sexy Kayaking Beast!! I even got the LVM logo in the shot with the sticker on my boat (that should count as a double entry) Thanks & have a nice day!

Nice LVM sticker Wesley!!!

And now for a little Big Creek action sent in by Matthew Duke. Matt these are great and we are glad that paddle didn’t break on you out there:)

Here are a few golden strokes in honor of the days it was easy to get over to big creek for an after work session.

Matt Duke

Very nice!

gold gold and more gold

Finally a submission by Chris Roberts completing the threesome of Golden Strokes! Let us know what you think of these three and help us narrow it down. Which one of these three is your favorite LVM viewer? Check back Monday as we unload many more Golden Stroke photos and a few special videos! Happy Easter everyone.

Two more golden photos. 1st up is Mr. John Grace off the Monkey while Al G inspects the line! Second is yours truly with a unique shot going off the pad! Sorry, got lots o Monkey pics! First pic by me, second by Stephen Hughes

Nice shot Chris.

Chris Roberts spankin' it!

We have quite a few Golden Strokes to show off and they all look pretty good. We will decide the paddle winner by combining viewer comments on the photos with the judges scores. Let us know what you think and good luck everyone!

Don’t know if it’ll make the cut but what good is this pic doin just sittin around my hard-drive? Freemont Shields gold strokin from the get-go. OBJ on a snowy, June colorado day.

Adam Goshorn sent this one in of Charlie Mix on LRC Falls. Beautifully executed back sweep bow initiation with the shoulder lead. Well done, sir.

The Initiation

The Execution

I must say, Christian Magallanes is supposedly preparing for the MCAT, but sure seems he has a lot of time to dig up some beauties. This is Norwood Scott, legendary C1er extraordinaire and Mike Costas, ‘bama boy with a knife at a gunfight, trying not to hear “Hasta La Vista, Baby” in Terminator on the Futaleufu. Half the paddle, twice the golden stroke pictures…

Christian Magallanes is really stepping up the the plate recently. Not sure if this is gold, but it’s six people kayaking in the same photo. That’s got to be a record…

for the record,

thats “Team Auburn” in the futa six stroker

-Christian

Looks like we have a classic case of one-up-manship going on. Who’s got the 8 pack?

For your considerations.
